Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrospun nanofibers have garnered significant interest in recent times owing to their distinctive characteristics, including their biocompatibility and extensive range of applications. Active substances can be successfully incorporated into the nanofibrous membrane to provide a variety of drugs for systemic circulation, increasing their solubility and bioavailability as well as local administration in the form of various tissue-engineered scaffolds and wound dressings. Despite a significant amount of research being conducted in this area, electrospinning is attracting interest from both the academic community and, increasingly, the industrial community, and there is no doubt that there will be further advances and applications made in the future.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, titled "Electrospinning in Drug Delivery Applications". This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews that cover all aspects of the design, manufacturing, characterization, final formulation, and drug delivery applications using electrospinning, but papers focused on other topics which fit within a similar scope are welcome to be submitted too.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Judyta Cielecka-Piontek

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
